Recommended wheel covers?

Hi all,

i bought some wheel covers from Carpro - see below - but although rated for 22" wheels I can't seem to get the positioning right, so they tend to either fall off overnight or not quite cover the entire wheel ... anyone got a recommendation for bigger / better covers?

cheers!

PS The reason i want to use wheel covers is that i like to do my wheel cleaning the day before a thorough wash & detail, as otherwise i'm spending almost 2 hours on the car, which causes much amusement to my famiily & neighbours, as well as being pretty tiring

Carpro doesn't state how wide it covers on a 22. Try covering the front of the wheel instead of the entire tire and see if it fits.

Thanks, i've tried to do this by allowing the elastic to grip one of the tyre grooves, but the covers then seem to come off overnight. i'll persevere though!
